Strategy to
Fulfill our Mission
The formation of the Committee for
Responsible Wildlife Management (CRWM) was proposed in the Fall of 2007 by
concerned citizens of Massachusetts who believed that in recent years, there has been an
urgent need for people to be reintroduced to and reconnected with the true meaning of
conservation and the proper management of our resident furbearing wildlife. In 1996,
Massachusetts lost the ability to regulate and manage furbearer populations using the most
effective and efficient tools available. Since that time, state and national
organizations have come together to form a unified, scientifically sound approach that
needs to be promoted and utilized here in Massachusetts.

Our Strategy to accomplish this includes:
 | The cultivation of positive relationships with our
representatives. This is critical to ensuring our political decsions are based on
the best possible science available and not influenced by emotional justifications.
It allows for an informed public to be involved and participate in a meaningful,
positive way in the political process. |
 | The creation of a statewide network on individuals willing to
get involved. These citizens will help disseminate factual information locally and
provide timely accurate information to the district representatives and senators. |
 | Creating an active membership willing to attend public
hearings on furbearing wildlife issues, and participate in lobbying efforts at the state
house during critical periods. |
 | The encouragement of a healthy public sentiment in favor of
better laws to protect our natural resources; to assist in the enactment of laws for the
adequate protection and management of these natural resources. |
 | The distribution of information to help foster a public
understanding and appreciation of the importance of wisely managing and conserving
our furbearing wild resources, for the benefit of both wildlife and society. |
 | The public promotion of wildlife management, using the
most humane and best methods available. All of which are based on solid science and
years of dedicated research. |
 | The encouragement of a healthy public sentiment in favor of
better laws to protect our natural resources; to assist in the enactment of laws for the
adequate protection and management of these natural resources. |
 | Providing access to essential information, and provide that
information through seminars, presentations and workshops concerning proper wildlife
management and the critical role trapping plays in state wildlife management plans.
